INTRO: [Gm] [Cm] [Gm] [Cm]
1.[Cm] From Cape Cod [G] Light to the [Cm] Mississip' to San [Ab] Francisco [Eb] Bay
[G] They're [Cm] talkin' [G] 'bout this [Cm] famous place, [Ab] down Greenwich [Gm] Village [Cm] way.
They [Eb] hootenanny [Cm] all the time with folks from [Ab] every [Eb] where.
Come [Eb] Sunday morning, rain or [Cm] shine, [Ab] right in [Gm] Washington [Cm] Square
2.[Cm] And so I got my banjo out, just sitting, [Ab] catching [Eb] dust
[G] And [C] painted [G] right across the [Cm] case, 'Greenwich Village or Bust!'
My [Eb] folks were sad to [Cm] see me go, but I got no [Ab] meaning [Eb] there.
So, [Eb] I said, goodbye, [Cm] Kansas, Mo. and [Ab] hello, [Gm] Washington [Cm] Square
3. [Ab] Near [C#m] Tennes-[Ab] see, I [C#m] met a guy who played [A] 12-string [E] guitar.
[Ab] He [C#] also [Ab] had a [C#m] mighty voice, [A] not to [Abm] mention a [C#m] car.
Each [E] time he hit those [C#m] bluegrass chords, you sure smelled [A] mountain [E] air.
[Ab] I [E] said, don't waste it [C#m] on the wind, come [A] on to [Abm] Washington [C#m] Square.
4. [A] In [D] New Orleans, we [Dm] saw a gal a-walkin' [Bb] with no [F] shoes.
[Am] And [Dm] from her throat there comes a growl, she [Bb] sure was [Dm] singin' the blues.
She [F] sang for all [Dm] humanity, this gal with [Bb] raven [F] hair.
I said, it's for the [Dm] world to hear, [Bb] Come to [Am] Washington [Dm] Square.
5.[Bbm] We [Ebm] cannonballed into New York on good old [B] US [F#] 1.
[Bb] Til up [Ebm] ahead we saw the arch, [B] a-gleamin' [Ebm] bright in the sun.
As [F#] far as all the [Ebm] eye could see, ten thousand [B] folks were [F#] there.
And [F#] singing in sweet [Ebm] [F#] harm-ony, [B] right in [Bbm] Washington [Ebm] Square.
